Interesting. Cloris friends with Jim Zabel. Wilder Iowa Alum. Cloris in one my Favorites. Kiss me Deadly. It's a Classic. Go Hawks

Kiss me Deadly with Ralph Meeker is one of my favorite Noir films


It had the first telephone answering system using a reel-to-reel recorder

Directed by Robert Aldrich, who also directed Ulzana's Raid, one of the favorite westerns

Cloris went to DM Roosevelt, I believe

NCAA Football hasn't been long-term sustainable for quite some time.

For certain. Iowa is not a "little guy".
In today’s world, iowa most certainly is a little guy and will be getting progressively smaller annually. Having said that, F NIL. It has ruined college athletics forever

SMU's slush fund that started the dominoes of conference realignment ruined college athletics forever. Didn't Eric Dickerson deserve that Trans Am? I'd say he did.

The system ruined the system. Not Dickerson. You'd have to put Switzer and about everyone else in the list. Dickerson was actually fun to watch.

Who listens to radio broadcasts except to enhance TV.? Gone is the imagination of Zabel et all hooking us to games and imaging our little boy selves leaping over the line into the endzone or kicking a winning field goal. It takes no magical imagination for our fat asses to watch 7 angles over every play and lie to ourselves that out team lost due to the cabal wanting the better team to win.

Greed corruption and overexposure did it. Athletes now are increasingly middle to upper middle class whose parents pay for development. Middle to lower class can't watch the local state school on local TV anymore. Paying for the big network is a luxury. About every game on cable is way overexposure like eating too many cookies all day everyday.

Gang warfare is another issue. Medium cities in the Midwest struggle to field football teams. In Champaign at Neil and Bradely you could watch terrific pickup BB games at Bradley Park. Doesn't happen anymore.

Bowl games are now scrimmages to preview what might ne next year. Who vary to watch Alabama, Mich, OSU, Georgia and occasionally whichever 12 Christian school pays to have a good team every 4 years to make it to the football Final 4.

The death throws on NCAA sports will be akin to watching Micael Landon and former NFL player turned actor Olson blow up Walnut Grove on the last episode as the network runs out of ideas to keep people watching

Maybe Hunger Games are next.
 
I don’t know why people are so upset at the free market.

This ceo guy can’t even do his own database building?

Where else on the interwebs will you get a discussion of Eric Dickerson's Trans Am followed by someone giving away a spoiler about how Little House on the Prairie ended? Epic post. Let us not forget that Sir Nile The Great even mentioned "sports emphasis" in his Heisman speech. Maybe the issues we see aren't all that new.
 
Just reviewing the Kentucky football roster on UK Athletics and I noticed twitter & instagram icons next to each player. Then on 25 players were NIL icons. Men's basketball: 2(one of which was CJ Federick). Women's basketball: 2. You click on the icon and receive an invite to join the BBNIL collective. If a mid level SEC team with a 61,000 stadium can do this partnership what's up with Iowa? Maybe we should invite Hunter Rawlings back. Or to paraphrase Sandy Boyd back in the 60's...we do have the best art museum in the Big Ten.

I'm glad I wasn't eating when I read your response. One thing for sure... the coming years will be entertaining.

I understand the sentiment, but Kentucky is one of a handful of untouchable blue blood basketball programs. Their administration is probably comfortable with potential litigation when the alternative is to lose recruits to hated in-state rival Louisville or Duke or UNC. They are protecting tens of millions of dollars of goodwill that could evaporate instantly if they lost coach Cal and fell to a 10 win program for half a decade. You tell them "hey guys, if we lose a NIL Title IX claim we could be out $20 million" and they won't even blink because they believe their loss from not "playing ball" will be greater. Iowa is not in the same club. We can roll out a shit tier athletic product and likely wouldn't suffer too big of a pecuniary loss.

Iowa has historically been pretty progressive and our admins of the past have read the tea leaves pretty well on a lot of issues unrelated to on the field activities. The admins may be completely right on their posture here but we won't know for a few years.
